Small Aluminum Heat Sink and Thermal Compound

Introduction:

Are your chips or voltage regulators getting too hot? Consider these small heat sinks to remove all that thermal energy!

Description:

These small aluminum heat sinks are used to draw heat away from a components that produces heat. The shape of the heat sink maximizes the heat dissipation in two ways. First, the aluminum has a high thermal conductive property, so it will absorb the heat very quickly and then the heat will radiate off of the heat sink because the shape contains a lot of surface area. Add convection (moving air) and the heat (thermal energy) will be remove more quickly.
